well the cannons would be classified as Green or maybe Blue in this case rather than Red so it’s not considered Vehicle-Specific-Part and was just a pre-existing AA
The Red part for the Coelian would be the turret itself without the cannons and as far as i’m aware it was just a mock-up with no piece of it being made
That being said, Ostwind 2 is kinda of a funky one itself as I can’t really find any blueprints of, not saying it didn’t exist but there’s a possiblity that the turret design in war thunder is wrong
Since the hull for the KRV which is a Vehicle-Specific-Part (Red) was made, the turret and whatever was inside it (cannon + autoloader) gets and automatic pass even if they weren’t built
Since I can’t figure out who made the 140mm or if it was specifically made for the Strv 2000, can’t really say it’s a Red but the drawing indicated that was a pre-existing cannon and only needed to be modified
Edit:
Keep in mind that the Strv 140/40 was still in it’s design/planning stage and there was multiple ideas that could have been built instead so doubt anything for them was built at all
There was other ideas like the T120B which would have used a 120mm instead
O140/40 which is an unmanned turret version
L140 which was a 140mm mounted on the Cv90 hull
2nd Edit:
Found this “According to some data, due to the lack of own developments in this area, the Swedish tank builders decided to resort to the help of German colleagues. At this time, Rheinmetall began work on the project NPNK-140 140-mm tank guns, designed to re-equip Leopard 2 MBT.”
So yeah it was just a foreign cannon and not specifically built for the Strv2000 + Rheinmetall didn’t want to share/sell the 140mm at the time since they were new and still being tested
The biggest factor was cost. Time wasnt really the problem since they still had to functionally remake the leo to their own standards but the swedish army just didnt find it profitable to build their own vehicle when they could just buy one.
Which makes me annoyed since the strv 2000 would easily be the most capable tank on the market now if it was actually built.
Absolutely a +1 from me! The thought of Sweden getting a unique heavy tank is awesome! Also as an afterthought, would be cool if you could switch between the different guns that was planned. I’d imagine it would be kinda like how you can switch up guns on some airplanes. It would give an increased flexibility to the tank, and players can change the gun to suit their playstyle.
Time was definitely a factor. After testing foreign tanks, primarily in the form of Leopard 2A4 and M1A1, it was realised that the performance of Swedish tanks was more behind the curve than was previously believed. As such, priority was placed on replacing older tanks as rapidly as possible. Further development of Strv 2000 was still considered, but the funds that would have been required to speed up development were not available. Cost was a factor yes, but only in relation to to the need to replace older tanks in a timely manner. Profitability however was never an issue, Strv 2000 was not made for export but specifically tailored to Swedish requirements
